If you want to fly like a bird, there's only sport that comes close. Yes, wingsuit flying may offer a high octane adrenaline ride but it mimics only one aspect of flight – diving. Soaring about the clouds and thermalling like a bird of prey? For that you need a paragliding rig.

In this clip, join paraglider pilot Veso Ovcharov and Petar Loncar as they enjoy some spectacular flights above the islands of Hawaii. The Pacific archipelago is well known for its surfing, hiking and biking, but less explored is its paragliding potential.
